[PATCH v5 GCC] libffi/test: Fix compilation for build sysroot

Fix a problem with the libffi testsuite using a method to determine the 
compiler to use resulting in the tool being different from one the 
library has been built with, and causing a catastrophic failure from the 
inability to actually choose any compiler at all in a cross-compilation 
configuration.

Address this problem by providing a DejaGNU configuration file defining 
the compiler to use, via the CC_FOR_TARGET TCL variable, set from $CC by 
autoconf, which will have all the required options set for the target 
compiler to build executables in the environment configured, removing 
failures like:

FAIL: libffi.call/closure_fn0.c -W -Wall -Wno-psabi -O0 (test for excess errors)
Excess errors:
default_target_compile: No compiler to compile with
UNRESOLVED: libffi.call/closure_fn0.c -W -Wall -Wno-psabi -O0 compilation failed to produce executable

and bringing overall test results for the `riscv64-linux-gnu' target 
(here with the `x86_64-linux-gnu' host and RISC-V QEMU in the Linux user 
emulation mode as the target board) from:

		=== libffi Summary ===

# of unexpected failures	708
# of unresolved testcases	708
# of unsupported tests		30

to:

		=== libffi Summary ===

# of expected passes		1934
# of unsupported tests		28

This is a combined backport of the relevant parts of upstream libffi 
changes as follows:

- commit 8308984e479e ("[PATCH] Make sure we're running dejagnu tests 
  with the right compiler."),

- commit 2d9b3939751b ("[PATCH] Fix for closures with sunpro compiler"),

- commit 0c3824702d3d ("[PATCH] Always set CC_FOR_TARGET for dejagnu, to
  make the testsuite respect $CC"),

- commit 7d698125b1f0 ("[PATCH] Use the proper C++ compiler to run C++
  tests"),

- commit 6b6df1a7bb37 ("[PATCH] Adds `local.exp` to CLEANFILES"),

- commit 6cf0dea78a5a ("[PATCH] Change CLEANFILES to DISTCLEANFILES")

	libffi/
	* Makefile.am (DISTCLEANFILES): New variable.
	* configure.ac: Produce `local.exp'.
	* Makefile.in: Regenerate.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* testsuite/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DEJAGNU_SITE_CONFIG): New 
	variable.
	* testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate.

Hi,

 As you may recall I have proposed a clean solution for the problem 
discussed here, which I posted for inclusion with upstream libffi, with an 
intent to have it backported to GCC as soon as it has been accepted by the 
maintainer, as a part of patch series that have been archived here: 
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libffi-discuss/2020/002502.html>.

 I have pinged the series last week:
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libffi-discuss/2020/002517.html>, 
and then again just now: 
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libffi-discuss/2020/002518.html>.

 I think with the GCC 10 release about to be rolled out we need a 
contingency plan, so I propose that, unless my proposed libffi changes 
have been accepted upstream real soon now, such as by the end of this 
coming Friday AoE, we include this change instead.

 Therefore, OK to apply once Friday AoE has passed and the upstream libffi 
changes have gone nowhere?

[Change log corrected to include history before v4.]

Changes from v4:

- Replace with a backport of the partially complete solution already 
  present upstream.

Changes from v3:

- Replace with a backport of a change submitted upstream.

Changes from v2:

- Revert to v1.

- Rename testsuite/libffi-test-support.exp.in to
  testsuite/libffi-site-extra.exp.in.

Changes from v1:

- Remove testsuite/libffi-test-support.exp.in and the associated changes.

- Pass $(CC) via `--tool_exec' in $(AM_RUNTESTFLAGS).
